recording

the end of saro is a chamber opera that was created with librettist Vashti Kalvi Daniel and choreographer Harper Foote. The work was devised by Vashti and I over the course of several years with the subject of the narrative being an artist with depression. The production featured eight characters, a chorus, live electronic processing, and an accopanying trio of cello, bass recorder, and percussion. The project was supported through the Lynn and Mary Steen Fellowship and was advised by Jim McKeel.
